The men, the women and the children —all fh@ departments of the church life —are giving full co operation to the movement.

These rolls afford the medium of relating the 2,500 churches of the Georgia Baptist Con vention to the great call of . the cam paign. Every worker’s name will ap pear on this roll.

This Is the spirit of the campaign in every part of the state, and there is every reason to believe that Geor gia will be among the first to reach her quota when the actual canvass Is .made. Good news conies from every part of the state and from the South in the campaign Several Georgi.. churches have raised their quotas, and many associations! quotas are hsiug raised hy the vote of the associations. More than a dozen associations have done this already. The Atlanta and Macon and Colum bus organizations are among the lead ing city organizations thus far The towns and smaller cities of ttie state have gone forward with the work In unanticipated fashion. The First Baptist Churc'.- of Or'f fin was th s first to be organized in the state. The Morgan County Asso- j elation was the first association to ! complete the organization out through ' every church. Many other associa tions have done this now. From Texas comes the word that the Baptists of that state have raised their quota from sixteen to seventeen j million. This is the most remarkable j illustration of the spirit iu which the campaign is beiug received on record. One man has given a million dol lars in Texas. Other big gifts are coining in from every part of the South and it is expected that before the ac tual drive for funds is made in De cember that there wili !e five million dollars in hand as a result of these special and unsolicited gifts. A number of big gifts are in pros pect in Georgia and Dr. Cree hopes to announce these before very .ong. There has 'seen no effort to get these gifts in Georgia yet, and the fact that they are coming unsolicited is .good evidijace of the response of the people When the Georgia Baptist Conven -1 tion meets iu Macon ia November, it Is the plan of the officials of the cam paign to have every worker in the state present. ’ his w r ili reeult in ~u attendance ot more than five thousand people which will break all records f any state convention in the South "The campaign is going fine, and we are very grateful for the co-oper ation of Georgia Baptists," is the en thusiastic comment of Dr. Cree.
